I admire the optimism of everyone who is like “hey maybe Trump is being held accountable for once” and not “oh wow I am 100% sure the United States Supreme Court is about to say insurrection is legal”

NEW: Clarence Thomas fears he may have to retire unless his need for a three-week stay in Bermuda is fulfilled. He noted that marlin season is coming up and it would sure be particularly neat to have his meals delivered by a baby elephant carrying a satin pillow with his initials embroidered on it.

Please make sure that you are still on the voter rolls in your state and have not been removed, so you can vote in 2024. Lastly. Write your DC rep./Biden and tell them to make Election Day a national holiday so everyone will have their vote counted! Pass it on.

A new study found that one out of every four land animals raised for food in 2019 wound up in the trash. That’s 18 billion animals total, or 2.4 for every human on earth. It’s incredibly bad in the US where it’s 7.1 animals wasted per person. www.vox.com/future-perfe...
We raise 18 billion animals a year to die — and then we don’t even eat them
From farm to plate, one in four animals raised on factory farms are wasted.

If your holiday plans are important to you, now and the next few weeks would be a really good time to be extra careful when indoors around others. Covid rates are high and rising and flu and RSV are up there too.
First COVID wastewater data after Thanksgiving shows a significant increase in infections post-holiday.
Per @jpweiland.bsky.social, the number of new infections a day has increased by ~40%, and the number of people currently infected has jumped to 1 in every 39.
